Black and White Casino Night

March 31, 2009

This past weekend (along with photographing a wedding) I also attended a black tie charity event.  Whitney, one of my very first brides in Texas, was putting on a fundraiser for a local charity, and needed a photographer for her event.  She contacted me via Facebook, and asked if I was open and if I [...]

What it is really like to live at the Domain

March 29, 2009

Note: Pics are at the end of the post.

There was this really cool fashion show yesterday here at the domain – live mannequins, and great deals at all the stores, runway shows, and live music after dark.
All the activities are very cool. And when I used to tell people that I lived in [...]

A Steampunk Bathroom

March 28, 2009

My introduction to SteamPunk came with a puzzle I used to do on rainy days. My folks had lots of puzzles – they were stacked high in the entry closet, and while they always wanted me to do a ‘new’ one, I always loved this colorful jumble of observation decks, hot air balloons, kites [...]

How to loose RSS subscribers

March 27, 2009

Design Sponge, you have a great site, and tons of cool ideas, but since you won’t post any of my comments, I’m unsubscribing from your RSS feed. I’m sure I’ll still stop by every now and then, but because you don’t think I’m “constructively contributing to the discussion”, I guess I’ll stop trying.

At least I’ll have 23 years of good luck

March 27, 2009

Why is everybody asking for more photos? What do you think I am? A professional Photographer? You think I want to pick up My Nikons when I am wearing the popcorn ceiling that I just scraped off? No way. You will have to wait. What? How did I [...]

Where the Wild things Are Movie

March 26, 2009

HD was invented just for Maurice Sendak.   I wish they had gotten Sigur Rós to do the music, though.

Organizing photos in Aperture

March 24, 2009

As a former scientist, it is super important to me to have things well organized. I know exactly how many salad forks are in my silverware drawer, and they are arranged in such a way that I could find them in the dark – for those salad emergencies when the power goes out. 
So when [...]

Estimated water Bills at the Domain.

March 23, 2009

I’m about to blow my fucking lid.
Every single month for over 2 years I have had to do battle with the management of the Residences of the Domain, as well as with Sierra billing.  They make empty promises that I am not to receive an estimated bill – I’m pretty sure nobody living at the [...]

Film Wedding photos

March 22, 2009

Last week I got a surprise box from FedEx.  I love surprises!  I grabbed my Black Swiss Army Climber Pocket Knife and carefully and quickly opened the little box.  Inside were some special Film wedding photos from some recent weddings.  These weren’t the usual wedding photos, but instead detail shots from my travels over the last [...]

Home improvement blogs

March 21, 2009

No this hasn’t officially turned into a home improvement blog – It’s still a wedding photography blog (How’s that for two massive Google keywords).  This blog has always been about my life – I’m a traveling wedding photographer, who writes about all kinds of things that I’m into.  Right now I’m into house remodeling, so [...]

Does anyone make a wallpaper removal game for the Wii?

March 20, 2009

Two weeks ago was perhaps the most stressful nail-bitting, stomach turning week of my life.  I lost sleep, couldn’t eat (which is never a problem for me), and chewed off most of my nails.  I had heard so many horror stories about loans falling through at the last minute, and was convinced that it was [...]

Thumbnail image for What is the best time for Bluebonnet pictures?

It’s right now!  Of course you are probably not reading this on the day when I wrote it, but that’s OK.  Right now, for me, is Late March.  And I’m in Austin.  This is the prime time of the year for bridal portraits, and engagements pictures here in Texas, and what texas girl doesn’t want [...]

What the hell am I supposed to use now?

March 15, 2009

Home Depot is no longer stocking TSP.  The guy said that 3 days ago they pulled it from the shelves – something about it causing cancer in lab rats in California, or something.  Personally I think Homeland Security pulled it because Tri Sodium Phosphate is a great Organo Phosphate, and can be used in all [...]
